The real estate market continues to see notable developments in legal issues, policy and housing accessibility. HoREA warned that legal gaps in land parcel separation are being exploited by individuals posing as private sellers to illegally subdivide and sell plots, shifting the risk of fraud onto buyers. In the social housing segment, the Ho Chi Minh City Real Estate Association proposed restoring residency requirements to reduce overcrowding and limit competition for units. Several associations and businesses also proposed allowing developers to collect a 5% deposit as soon as a project begins construction, instead of waiting until the foundation is completed and other current sales conditions are met. Meanwhile, the Government proposed abolishing the 0.2% tax rate on encroached land, while experts said the criteria for identifying abandoned land must be clarified to avoid placing additional burdens on projects facing objective obstacles. In terms of prices and demand, apartments i...

The real estate market continues to record notable developments in prices, supply and policy. In former Binh Duong, apartments that were once commonly priced at VND 35-40 million per square meter now have an average price of up to VND 60 million per square meter, making units below VND 45 million per square meter increasingly difficult to find. Meanwhile, many homebuyers in Ho Chi Minh City are willing to leave central areas for suburban locations and new urban zones, where they can find larger spaces and more suitable prices. Although housing supply in Ho Chi Minh City and several localities has increased significantly and purchasing demand has cooled, primary home prices remain high because product structures, development costs and profit expectations have not changed. In Hanoi, the Minh Duc social housing project in Me Linh Commune is expected to receive applications from October 24, with prices starting at VND 1.6 billion per unit, equivalent to nearly VND 24 million per square met...

The real estate market is seeing notable developments in policy, housing supply and demand. For old apartment buildings constructed in 1994 or earlier, apartment owners may receive compensation in the form of housing, land or money when the buildings are demolished, but they are not allowed to contribute funds themselves to rebuild them. Residents’ ownership rights also do not automatically disappear when an apartment building reaches the end of its service life, while the legally defined service life of a building is at least 50 years. In Ho Chi Minh City, many homebuyers are willing to leave central areas to seek larger living spaces and more suitable prices in suburban areas and new urban developments. However, although supply in Ho Chi Minh City and many localities has increased sharply, primary housing prices remain high because product structures, development costs and profit expectations have not changed. Some affordable apartments have been discounted by several hundred million...

The real estate market is witnessing notable developments across several localities. From now until 2030, Bac Ninh aims to build, complete and put into use 72.62 million square meters of floor area, equivalent to approximately 511,600 commercial housing units. Meanwhile, in the affordable apartment segment, although many units have been discounted by several hundred million dong to as much as one billion dong after a two-year period of rapid price growth, transactions remain difficult because of buyers’ limited purchasing capacity. Experts say suitable prices, affordable products, flexible payment policies and the removal of legal obstacles are important factors in improving market liquidity. The demand for optimized living space is also reflected in small-apartment designs, such as a 27-square-meter apartment using an interconnected layout and multifunctional furniture, or a 43-square-meter house arranged to provide sufficient space for six people through the use of wooden box-like st...

Today’s real estate landscape features notable developments, ranging from efforts to improve liquidity and handle surplus land funds to the promotion of urban, resort and industrial projects. The Ministry of Finance has asked ministries, sectors and localities to accelerate the handling of surplus houses and land following restructuring, prevent them from being left unused and complete the process in 2026. From a market perspective, proposed solutions to improve liquidity include setting suitable selling prices, developing affordable products, applying flexible payment policies and removing legal obstacles. However, the profits of many listed real estate companies are rising mainly through transfers, divestments and financial income, while revenue from core business activities remains weak. Young people also continue to face three major barriers when seeking social housing: financial difficulties, limited information and complicated procedures. In addition, experts say it is necessary ...

The real estate market is seeing notable developments across policy, credit and business activity. In Ho Chi Minh City, outstanding loans for tourism and resort real estate reached approximately VND 30 trillion, accounting for a small share of total real estate credit in the city. The State Bank of Vietnam said additional lending for restaurants, hotels, tourism destinations, ecological projects and resorts would be excluded from this year’s real estate credit growth. On the policy front, the State Audit Office proposed increasing the proportion of owners’ equity and reducing the share of borrowed capital in projects, instead of the current 80-85% loan ratio, with the aim of helping lower housing prices. The Ministry of Construction also proposed seven groups eligible for priority access to rental housing policies, including people with two or more children. At the same time, it proposed removing the right of foreign organizations and individuals to purchase adjoining villas while reta...

The real estate market is seeing notable developments in policy, credit and liquidity. The State Audit Office has proposed increasing the proportion of equity and reducing credit funding in projects, instead of the current 80-85% borrowing level, in order to help lower housing prices. Meanwhile, the State Bank said additional credit for restaurants, hotels, tourism, ecological and resort projects will be excluded from this year's real estate credit growth. The Ministry of Construction has also proposed prioritizing rental housing policies for seven groups, including people with two or more children, while suggesting the removal of provisions allowing foreign organizations and individuals to buy villas and terraced houses, retaining the right to purchase apartments in the draft revised Housing Law. Experts also noted that regulations should clearly identify the party receiving interest and the party paying fees for an escrow account receiving 5% of the final value of the home record...
